The Sepoy Mutiny of 1857-1858 meant the end of Islam’s political supremacy in India. The main consequences were the end of the Mughal Dynasty and the introduction of direct British rule. Following these events, many Muslim intellectuals tried to reform and revitalize Islam in India and as a whole. One of the proposals was the modernist one at Aligarh, put forward by Sayyid Ahmad Khan (1817-1898), who defended a political collaboration between the Muslims of India and the British, and the using of modern education for their betterment, a view shared by Amir Ali (1849-1928), whom in his books tried to explain Muslim history from a viewpoint which used the political language of English liberalism. In this paper it will be analyzed how the political creed of Amir Ali framed his vision of History and how this justified his political positions. .
